The artery traverses the notch between the two femoral condyles and comes into close relation with the capsule of the femoro-tibial joint. During the first part of its course the artery runs parallel to and in front of the plantaris muscle. It next passes between the popliteus muscle and the joint capsule, and afterwards between this muscle and the proximal part of the tibia.
